I have a white sedan, no aero kit and I don't have the money for volks, besides the nyc roads would prob eat them up.

 

You should ask if anyone will volunteer to do a photochop on a white Sedan.

 

I would get neither but if I had to choose, I would pick the first one.

 

I like the first wheel better.

 

Ok if you don’t like any of them, what would you recommend? I want a simple clean looking 5 star rim

 

i would go w/ any 5 spoke from rh/racinghart

 

For the budget minded:
Axis Hiro and Axis Milano

 

but I can't get 19" I live in NY. Those would have been my 1st choice

 

Out of those choices, I would go with the one on the left.

The MB motoring one is a pos...it's not even clear-coated if I remember correctly.
for low priced wheels, I'd consider TSW's or those Axis wheels posted above.

 

Why can't you get 19's in NY. I have 19's as do a ton of other people. You're fine w/ 19's its 20's you have to worry about.

 

Eh, ill throw in my .02... My first time around on my IS300 I got a set of 19 Axis Muse. Within about 6 months I warped 2 and cracked a spoke on the 3rd. I avoided everthing and also payed close attention to PSI which I kept at 35psi cold.

If you want 19's I suggest you save some more and buy a forged wheel, becuase they will hold up a lot better on the streets of NY (boston in my case), vs a cast wheel (and yes, Axis is cast.. also the ones you were choosing between are cast also)

If you budget it tight, do go for a 19 inch cast wheel (Axis), instead but some 18' casts instead and get some meatier tires.

My second time around with my IS300 I ended up going with 18' SSR GT1's with meatier tires and had no problems. Good luck on your decision

 

Not just the size of wheels, but brand and quality of the wheel. Cheaper brand cast alloy wheels are easier to bend or get damage, then forged aluminum wheels ( stronger and lighter ), which are more expensive ( volks, dpe, iforged, etc. ). Save up or buy a used set of good quality wheels 19's or 20's.

damn now i don't know what to do! sucks that I have to pay off so many credit cards
